Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

I don't see displacements on this next AE. It's cheaper to keep the WB's fat. We are STILL converting awards from the May 10 bid. That was a 210 day conversion window. It's been over a year. The 767's will go through the mods and be right back on the line for next year.

IMO there may be some displacements, but this will likely be neutral AE rather then a backwards one.

I'm guessing that even though we are paying them to operate an E145 as DCI the fare war plus passengers lost is more then they can recover from the FFD flying.

Thats funny, Republic (doing biz as Delta) is competing with Frontier (owned and flown by Republic). Weird business practices.

I'm a half-full kind of guy unless the glass contains beer.

I hope you're right, but I don't see any of the "A" part of the "AE" happening around here for a year or so.

To add to the "weirdness", just finished a flight in back on an ASA plane, on deplane, FO steps out of flightdeck and has a "OneLuv" SWA ID lanyard around his neck. Walked by and thought I was on an airtran flight. No kidding.

And 1990-2003 DALPA/NWAPLA thought that it was a good idea to sell pilot jobs to line their own pockets in the short-term.:mad:

This is key when faced with the reality of a strike. Anyone can vote to strike, like we did in C2K, but when it comes to actually pulling the handle...

Strike Preparedness long advocated for getting our financial houses in order in the runup to C2K, but what was the reality?

Strike issues aside, we have been debt free as well and you can't beat the freedom and peace of mind that comes with it.

we could keep it hidden on this thread...just use trip report for easy searching??

ok, back to contract 2012 stuff!

So what's it gonna be? You decide where you're going?
